Preclinical data published in Cell show the nanoparticle vaccine spurs extremely high levels of protective antibodies in animal models. An innovative nanoparticle vaccine candidate for…
The coronavirus doesn’t spread uniformly through a community. But in the world of disease modeling, many projections take a high-level approach to a geographic area,…
Scientists can have ambitious goals: curing disease, exploring distant worlds, clean-energy revolutions. In physics and materials research, some of these ambitious goals are to make…
A cocktail of powerful antibodies identified in recovered patients locks the coronavirus infection machinery, inhibits SARS-CoV-2 attachment to host cells, and protects animals challenged with…
Computer design of synthetic proteins is creating potent, stable antivirals that block infection at least as well as monoclonal antibodies. Computer-designed small proteins have now…
Hibernation is a familiar feature on Earth today. Many animals — especially those that live close to or within polar regions — hibernate to get…
A laboratory breakthrough in cell targeting may improve the safety of cancer-killing CAR T cells. Scientists have demonstrated a new way to precisely target cells…
A single dose induced antibodies in nonhuman primates. The vaccine’s design has advantages of safety, cost, scalability, and storage. A replicating RNA vaccine, formulated with…
In the movie “Ant-Man,” the title character can shrink in size and travel by soaring on the back of an insect. Now researchers at the…
To the general public, lasers heat objects. And generally, that would be correct. But lasers also show promise to do quite the opposite — to…
Oxygen first accumulated in the Earth’s atmosphere about 2.4 billion years ago, during the Great Oxidation Event. A long-standing puzzle has been that geologic clues…
Warming events are increasing in magnitude and severity, threatening many ecosystems worldwide. As global temperatures continue to climb, it also raises uncertainties as to the…
The coronavirus neutralizing antibody, called S309, is on an accelerated path toward clinical trials. An antibody first identified in a blood sample from a patient…
Marine life off the West Coast, from Mexico up through Canada, inhabit the California Current. The cool, nutrient-rich water supports life from invisible phytoplankton to…
Using the most advanced Earth-observing laser instrument NASA has ever flown in space, a team of scientists led by the University of Washington has made…
By shuffling DNA in and out of one gene, syphilis stays a step ahead of the immune system to resist eradication. The bacterium that causes…
Want to learn to code? Put down the math book. Practice those communication skills instead. New research from the University of Washington finds that a…
